# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes more like a treat than something actually good for you, which is honestly the best kind of lie.
  • You can make it in the time it takes to scroll through your phone, and you'll actually feel different afterward.
  • One glass genuinely keeps you full and focused for hours, not just for fifteen minutes.
02 -
  • Don't pack the spinach too tight when measuring—a loose cup blends faster and more evenly than tightly compressed leaves.
  • The frozen banana is what makes this actually creamy; fresh banana won't give you that smooth, almost-milkshake texture that people expect.
03 -
  • Prep your frozen banana slices in advance and store them in a freezer bag—it makes morning smoothies even faster and you'll actually use them.
  • Taste the apple before you add it; if it's mealy or bland, the smoothie will taste that way too, so choose quality fruit.
